Moving a static caravan to my own land (driveway)
Not sure if this is the right sub, but wondering if anyone has put a static caravan on their driveway?
Trying to keep it brief, I bought a static on a holiday site in 2021 (second hand, van is now 9 years old, so not dilapidated or anything). Have since realised how shocking the industry is and no longer want to manage the static as a holiday let or pay the ever increasing fees to do so. But also don't want to let them have the van back to make an insane profit on, I do love the van and the space it has.
So my "cunning plan" is to demolish my garage (that is currently useless as it floods every time it rains) and take up that space and half my driveway with the static that I can then use as extra living space, a hobby/craft room and retain the bathroom in it as we only have one bathroom in the house.
Has anyone done this?? It appears that I don't need planning permission as it would be an ancillary garden structure, but I can't find any reference at the council specifically relating to statics. They won't speak to be about it unless I pay them a planning consultancy fee (which I guess I may have to do) so I thought I would see if anyone else had any experience with this?
Other info: house is a semi detached on an unadopted road and the current garage is detached from the house, but roughly the same width as the caravan, so the only difference in size of structure in that position is that it would be about twice as long. House is owned by myself and I will hopefully have paid the mortgage off in full by the time I move it (inheritance).
TIA
Edit: house is in England, West Cumberland and Furness council.
